Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to delve into the multifaceted realm of urban governance within the context of sustainable development. Urban governance encompasses various aspects such as policy-making, decision-making processes, institutional frameworks, and citizen participation that shape the functioning and development of cities. The scope of this Special Issue extends to examining the intricate interplay between urban governance and diverse thematic areas, including arts and humanities, tourism, urban theory, sociology, city networks, water management, and resident perceptions.
Through a multidisciplinary lens, we seek to unravel the complexities of urban governance and its implications for fostering sustainable urban development. This Special Issue contributes to the existing literature by providing fresh insights and perspectives on urban governance in relation to sustainable development. By synthesizing knowledge from various disciplines, including urban studies, sociology, political science, and economics, this Special Issue offers a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics shaping urban governance. Furthermore, the exploration of themes such as arts and humanities in city governance, tourism governance, and resident perceptions adds novel dimensions to the discourse on urban governance, enriching the existing body of literature with diverse perspectives.
